Beautiful Blogger Award

Thank you JeniQ at Super Size My Cob for giving me this Beautiful Blogger award! Not sure just how well I will do at finding 7 things to post about, but I will try.

The Beautiful Blogger award rules are:
1. Link back to the person who gave you the award
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Pass the award to 15 other bloggers


1.) In 1955, when I was 4 we took my brother to San Diego, California to the Marine base out there. I remember a lot about the trip and I remember the beautiful white sands of Balboa Beach. My mother collected some of the sand in a glass bottle, sprigs of wonderful smelling juniper tree and post cards all along the way.

2.) I had a saddle with my first horse but it was to heavy, I was 9, and I couldn't lift it on his back so my dad sold it. I rode for years bareback and was really good at it, riding bareback now....scary!

3.) Art class was my favorite class in high school, had 4 years of it!

4.) I used to be a hairdresser but haven't done that since 1980....still cut my husbands hair and sometimes my daughter.

5.) I worked for 5 years as a postal clerk in our tiny little post office and could take my dogs to work with me. It was right across the street from our house.

6.) I used to love oyster soup, then in high school we had biology class right before lunch and we had to dissect muscles. After opening the shells and seeing the slimy insides, I could never eat oysters again after that!

7.) The thing I have always thought I would really like to do it is Cowboy Mounted Shooting! I'm a fair shot standing still but riding and shooting, well....LOL...then you have to have a horse that wants to move...Gilly??? OK, guess it's only a dream! :-)

Wow that was hard!!! Glad there aren't anymore!!!

I'm not going to name 15 others for this award, that's a lot to name and so many others already have it, so I'll just do this. If you are reading this blog then you can take this award and play along if you like or not.

So there you go some things you didn't know about me! LOL

Premio Dardos Award

“The PrĂ©mio Dardos is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing”.
This award was presented to me by Sarah at Cottage Garden Studio, thank you so much Sarah!!
I didn't know I was much of a writer, just putting down my thoughts here for my own amusement and hope that others find some of it a little amusing also. I will pass this on to some other as Sarah did to me.

Kacy at All Horse Stuff; love reading about her beautiful horse Wa and the wonderful trails she rides on. Maybe someday Gilly and I can take a trip to Oregon.

Lisa at Laughing Orca Ranch; great sense of humor even with a bad knee that is getting better every day. (She also has some really neat chickens too! Beautiful horse Baby Doll) You go Lisa!!!

Michelle at Pony Girl Rides Again; love all the pictures and stories of her spotted stinker "My Boy" a beautiful Appaloosa.

Anne at Aging Lite; good reading and excellent information that everyone should read.

Now I need to go to these blogs and tell them they have an award. I am only naming 4 but I guess you can name as many as you want or don't want to! :-)

Well....how about another glass of Lemonade or Two?


Well, I have been awarded another Lemonade Stand Award!! From Gail at Art by Gail H. Ragsdale who is one heck of an artist! Please go and check out her beautiful work. Thanks, Gail! As I was writing this post Sarah at Cottage Garden Studio another fine artist and all round great gal, so is Gail (smile) gave me another Lemonade Stand Award! You guys!!!

Pokey says, "Can you add some more sugar to my glass of Lemonade, it's a bit TART!!!!" Just before he lets out an ear splitting "Hee-Haw" right in my face. How can such a little guy make such a BIG noise and make such funny faces???

Gilly says he needs some more sugar to PLEASE! He is probably fibbing, he will drink anything and he really loves beer! OK back to business.......

Since this is the third time I have received this award, again thank you so much girls I really appreciate it and am flattered. But I am going to be like Pony Girl and break the rules. I am not going to name 10 people for the award I will let the others do it.

Well, it's off to the barn I go, time for the boys to have their supper.....hey it warmed up to 42 here today!!! It's supposed to be in the high 40's and mid 50's all next week!!! YIPPEEEEE!!

Another Award!

Thank you so much Gail for the art award! I'm thrilled you gave me this award for my drawings of long ago; and/or my photography.

Now I have to list seven things that I love, then pass the award on. Here they are the seven in no particular order.

1. I Love my Husband, of 36 years! :-) My family and friends, and my loved ones that have passed.

2. I LOVE my horse Gilly! He is a stinker sometimes but what a boy he has turned out to be! From a skinny little ugly duckling to a BIG beautiful swan!

3. I Love my special Music......the hauntingly sad melody's of Celtic, the music of the Civil War period, cowboy songs and songs about horses.

4. Love being Outdoors! I would rather be outside doing something (even cleaning the barn) than inside the house!

5. Oh, my furry babies I Love all of them and the ones that are waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge........thanks for all the wonderful memories that you have left me with!

6. I Love reading horse books and collecting them....I have lots and lots!

7. CHOCOLATE....now really, who doesn't love chocolate? Fresh vegetables from my garden, grown in the good earth, and the smell of the fresh turned earth in spring.

Now I am to present the award to 7 of my favorite art blogs. Hard to choose, there are so many wonderful ones out there! Some have already been given the award and I am picking them again because I like them a lot! Won't it be an honor to receive it more than once? :-)
